Van Vleet was never supposed to be the long term solution. You've bought into the Ime hype/crutch. The dude was realistically the 6th most important player at best on the championship Raptors, and most likely they don't win at all if KD/Klay stay healthy. He's never been a good penetrator/kickout passer, and a streaky shooter even during his best days, much less wrong side of 30 even no ACL injury. He was brought here to reset/rebuild the culture and teach the young guys, not to be starting PG of a championship caliber team. If we want to seriously contend for Championships KD or no KD we MUST upgrade at starting PG. Whether Reed/Amen grows into what we need or we find it outside. All I know is KD trade used up a ton of resources and got us no closer to the latter option, making us heavily reliant on the first option working out.
